Policy
Some college departments require employees to be available for emergency and other unusual situations outside their normal work schedule. If you are notified that you need to be accessible, available and able to return to work if called, you are considered to be on “on-call” status.On-call status is a designated shift within any 24 consecutive hours. These shifts may vary in their beginning and ending times, depending upon the department. They are also subject to change, depending upon workload needs, as determined by the administrator(s). On-call shift hours usually coincide with regular shift hours. Any staff member may be assigned to on-call status.
Procedure
Nonexempt hourly employees who are required to be on call, and then are contacted to work and come in to work, will be paid time-and-a-half for all actual hours worked. Further, you will be paid for a minimum of two hours of work, even if the job takes less than two hours. This two-hour minimum doesn’t apply to overtime assignments, however, or times when your supervisor requests that you report to work early or work additional hours in conjunction with your regular work schedule.Specifically designated individuals, whose position requires them to be on call, will be provided additional on-call payments even if the employee isn’t required to report to work during an on-call period.
